This Lullaby Movie

I liked that the book is organized into small little entries. It makes it easier to read and to divvy up the book. I also liked the extended metaphor of a creating a tree that speaks to you; becomes you. In Speak, Melinda’s tree slowly becomes better and better. Along with her tree, she becomes more optimistic rather than pessimistic. By the end of the book, Melinda’s final tree, was given an A+, and her attitude and state of mind were better than ever. I love how relatable the book is to my actual life. The connections between me and Melinda made this book even better. The only thing I disliked about the book is that the incident of Andy Evans raping her was revealed closer to the end of the book. I couldn’t comprehend why Melinda was acting like this until 130 pages in. I wanted to know why Melinda was acting like this in the beginning of the story, so I can understand more clearly why Melinda was acting this specific way. I really don’t have many dislikes for this book, it was pure

The movie “Babies” was a beautiful film I loved it I actually watched it three times and could not look away it was a very eye opening documentary for me. It is about cultures and differences within them it was truly amazing seeing the different cultures and there parenting methods. I was truly shocked that these four babies are in four very different cultures but all of them were reaching their milestones and developing all around the same time. I would have never thought that the parenting styles would be so similar to each other. In the documentary each child was loved from their parents and family. Each family was very different but all still spent time with there baby and loved them. The film starts from them being born till they are one-year old it shows you how they develop from culture to culture. It shows attachment styles in all four cultures and the results were surprising.

First, as intro says, "If strong ideas and action offend you then read no more.” This quote is very accurate, because in order to enjoy the book you must be willing to accept the opinions expressed and be willing to hear tales of wild adventures. I really enjoyed this book because it was a more mild version of historical fiction. It didn't have many strong references history-it was more of an action-packed story than one about history. Finally, It had a strong main character, Charlotte Doyle. Who is a female; I like that because it showed that girls can be action heroes

One of the things about the book that I personally liked was the characters, some of them were easy to relate to, even if you couldn't you could relate someone you knew with them. For example, David is not one of the main characters from the story but the more you learn about him, the more you realize how ambitious he is, wanted to change his career path almost every week, standing up to Mr. Neck. I think he's one of the things that helped Melinda find her voice.

It captured my attention from the beginning. I like how the Rand was descriptive words to help me have an image of what was happening in the novel. I like the story line. I like the idea of someone breaking way from everyone else and being different from others. That they are able to think for themselves and that it is ok to be different from others. I also liked how the novel had some romance because I do enjoy romance novels. The Language Police written by Diane Ravitch, I did not quit enjoy the book. I do not really like books like that. I do not recommend this book if you are not interested in how the bias panel chooses stories for children. I do recommend the novel, Anthem. It gives the reader a sense of individualism, there is a story behind

I, personally, loved the author's writing, although I did not really understand why she structured the book like so. With each chapter changing different perspectives and stories, it was kind of hard to remember which chapter went with another considering the chapters where out of order. With each story, I was a little annoyed that they just suddenly ended at the end of the chapter. It made me want to read more and more trying to find the next chapter that went with that person's story. It was also kind of difficult to connect the stories. Other than that, she did a marvelous job grabbing my attention. I loved the analogies that she included in the stories. For example, on page 216- 217, one of the mothers told her daughter about a turtle that eats her tears and then creates birds that laugh

As the overall book, I actually kind of liked it because it was kind of hard to understand because they couldn’t use “I” and I like challenges. They had to use “We” instead of using “I” to explain they self or the story. The book was okay as a whole but still kind of hard to understand I got kind of irritated after a while, while I was reading the book because of the way it was written.

I enjoyed this story about Jeanette Walls life. At times, it gave a depressing mood and to have to read some of the things the

I really enjoyed the book because from the beginning it started giving background information about the characters, which really helped me see how they became the person we see in the book. Also the book does a wonderful job at painting pictures in your head. One part described the city as “… a ceaseless passage of carriages, trains, and grip cars all with iron clad wheels that struck the pavement like rolling hammers.” With that description I could see the cars and hear the wheels, plus it just helps me understand the book a little better.

Something that I really liked was when luke felt all alone and one day he was just sitting in his room and seen someone and they became the best of friends. Another part of the booked I thought was nice was the relationship between Jen and Luke, they didn't know about it at first, but then their friendship grew stronger and stronger. Something else I liked was how they had to hide away from everyone because of the population police. How he had to survive without any light, sneaking outside and being stuck inside without having a real life. It was very interesting. Although, there was something I didn't like. I didn’t really like how sometimes in the book there was something I thought was interesting and it didn’t really last long enough or didn’t give much detail. For example, when Luke found out that Jen could do things he couldn’t . The author didn’t really explain it very much. But, other than those types of things, I thought that it was a really good book and I would recommend it to lower level readers and or in the middle type of readers. Those are some things I thought that were good and some things I didn’t like about the

One thing I liked about this book is that it shows a lot of detail and and the characters were very funny to me. One thing I disliked is that people were so mean and would hate our ethnicity. It was very sad that the KKK blew up the church and those four girls died. Its very low to me that someone would put bombs in the church to kill people and all we wanted was to stop segregation. Its very very

Lastly, I found the parts where she goes back and remembers all her fun and sad memories, extremely boring. Sometimes I would skip pages because I thought they were annoying. I still enjoyed the book for the most part, but the published reviews' critiques are definitely

There are so many strong female characters in this story that I feel like trying to throw a romance in would ruin what is trying to be said. In its purest form, this book is a strong dose of kick ass female power and the wondrous adventure that is friendship. There is a lot more to the book than that, but I still love the fact that it was practically an all girl's story.

Based on Lullaby lab research, students yawn 10 times per hour. Then lullaby lab does the investigation to 101 students from different schools to find the cause, and finally they found causes of yawning phenomenon.

“She was an old woman now, her life had become memories” (Silko). Lullaby is a tragic story telling about the hardships endured by Native Americans, told by the author Leslie Marmon Silko. The story is based on the life of a Native American woman named Ayah. Ayah is harshly affected by a hard time in the history of the Native American people. Ayah experienced so much tragedy that her life seemed purposeless. With the best of life behind her, Ayah’s best moments are in the past rather than present. Ayah lost so much in her lifetime and has many memories of her children and her people. The woman has her children stripped from her by the hands of Americans who are attempting to do away with the native people. Everything that Ayah knows is abruptly taken from her. American agents take her children away by contract. She also loses her son, Jimmie, who died while serving the U.S. military in a helicopter crash. In addition to all of this tragedy, Native Americans were suffering at the hands of the white people who were causing sickness, death, and dependence on other people (Silko). This story takes place in 19th century New Mexico on rocky terrain, which is crucial in the story. The natives are left destitute by the Americans who caused so much loss within their family, culture, and independence. They have had to give up everything they have ever known and their lifestyle was destroyed. Throughout the story told by Silko, the audience is reminded just how valuable life is and
